Tokyo World Cup cancelled

*fig-news--: Due to a conflict in scheduling, Japanese organisers for the F.I.G. World Cup stage in Artistic Gymnastics, slated for April 14 - 15, 2012 in Tokyo, were forced to cancel the event.

The decision comes in response to an inability to coordinate major dates for gymnasts on the sport calendar with availability of the host broadcaster for production. A lack of television coverage would have a negative impact on announcer participation and bring about weighty financial consequences. The FIG takes note of the decision and of the Japan Gymnastics Association's ongoing commitment to setting new dates for the 2013 World Cup.* source: fig press release
